Let cost price be x
according to question
x + 40% of x = 280
x+ 0.4x=280
1.4x=280
x=200
this 200 is the store cost or cost price for store
30%of 200= 60
according to question,
cost for employee= 200-60= 140
I think it is 5 but I am not for sure
Can you please explain this a bit better? i dont understand
Answer:
xx(0.65) + xx(0.08)
Step-by-step explanation:
First step is to find the discounted price. Finding 35% less than the original xx is the same as finding 65% of it, so we multiply by 0.65. Once this is completed we need to find 8% more than that. So we add 8% of xx, which is the same as multiplying by 0.08. Hope this helps :)
